SOUTHAMPTON, L. l., July 13.-Mrs. Ed
ward Humphries, of Bergen Point, n j.,
great granddaughter of Benjamin
Franklin and daughterin-law of Mr.. Solon
Humphries, Of New York, is spending the
summer with her husband here. Yester-
day afternoon she drove her dog cart to
the west side of Southampton Pond to
make n few visits. On her way home she
saw three children of Mr. Isham bathing
in the pond. The oldest, girl Of thirteen,
and nearly as large as Mrs. Hum.
phries, who is very petite,
got beyond her depth. There was no ono
there to help her and she sank twice and
would certainly have been drowned had
not Mrs. HUMPHREYS jumped from the cart
and clad as she was with hat and gloves
she rushed into the pond. Before she
reached the drowning girl she was obliged
TO swim. She did reach her, however,
and after a terrible struggle she brought
her TO shore partly by swimming and
partly by walking with her own head
under water. All this time the girl was
clinging to her and impeding her move
ments. The affair has created great
sensation and the plucky and pretty
lady is receiving congratulations on all
hands.
